Hehe. Lykke til! Forventer oppdateringer her på hvordan det gikk.

Kaus vant visstnok på en choke i første runde, og Kristian Fiva dro hjem seieren med en armbar i tredje runde.
Thomas Formo gikk en bra kamp og presset motstanderen sin stående hele kampen, men ble veldig sliten og klarte ikke å fullføre. Kampen endte uavgjort. (Mye mulig de ikke har dommeravgjørelse og at kamper som går ut tiden automatisk ender uavgjort).
Gratulerer så mye til Trondheim Fight Gym for kjempefin innsats og seiere!!
Det er forøvrig ventet mellom 1500-2000 folk på hovedshowet ikveld hvor Jakob skal gå.(Noe som er MYE i denne skalaen) Etter hva jeg har hørt fra folket i Finland er Jakob ON FIRE og veldig klar for denne kampen Smile Får håpe han gjør en knallkamp og slår ut den tøffe finnen!Smile
EDIT:
Jakob vant også kampen sin! Total dominering! Her følger en liten P4P:
Jakob kjører stående, kombinerer rette slag og lave spark. Tar ham ned, tar backmount og jobber derifra. I andre runde blir Jakob tatt ned, men reverserer ham raskt og tar s-mount og til side mount hvor han glir inn side choken.
Var visst meget klinisk og nydelig gjort. Jakob ble bare truffet hard EN eneste gang Smile
Nok en gang: Gratulerer
Lövstad Calmly Stops Valtonen in Finland
HELSINKI, Finland, Dec. 8 -- Northern Europe is booming with MMA.
Just ask Martin Kampmann (Pictures), Joachim Hansen (Pictures) or David Bielkheden (Pictures), and they'll tell you that neither Denmark nor Norway, let alone Sweden, is unfamiliar with MMA. Add to the list Finland, and in a broader sense the Baltic countries Latvia and Lithuania, and you have a scene packed full of talented competitors.
(...)
Representing Finland in this affair was Toni Valtonen, a veteran fighter from Espoon Kehähait -- the gym that has produced the likes of Rupponen and Niko Puhakka (Pictures). Valtonen has been fighting on the Finnish scene since 2001, making an impact with his wrestling-heavy style.
The ever game-faced Valtonen was matched up against a man of totally different demeanor. Jakob Lövstad from Trondheim Fight Gym of Norway is rarely seen without a calm smirk on his face, but under the laid-back image lies a fierce competitor who has garnered fame especially with his slick BJJ skills. Tonight the Norwegian made his comeback from a year-and-a-half layoff and calmly put on an MMA clinic en route to submitting his challenger.
Lövstad started the round looking relaxed and taking the initiative with straight punches and snapping low kicks, which repeatedly hit their target with a resounding slap. The Norwegian timed a single-leg just as Valtonen was stepping in and easily took the fight to the mat, where he worked his way to mount.
The Finn gave his back in trying to escape, only for Lövstad to flatten him out and pound Valtonen. The referee felt that Lövstad was punching to the neck, gave the man from Norway a warning and stood the fighters.
Lövstad kept cool and continued with the same game plan, shooting after some leg kicks. Valtonen was quick in trying to scramble away but was thrown back down with an uchi-mata. Lövstad took back mount again, and this time he was much more hesitant with his punching but showed composure and balance in not trying to rush a choke.
Once the action started in round two of this bout at 93 kg (205 lbs.), Valtonen immediately closed the distance with a superman punch and bull-rushed the "Striking Viking" to the mat. The experienced BJJ game of Lövstad was apparent as the Norwegian swept Valtonen and ended up in the side mount. From there Lövstad worked for a modified side choke.
The referee was calling for action, but Lövstad politely explained that he was indeed choking his opponent, and a few seconds later the tap came at 1:30. With a trademark smile on his face, Lövstad got up, shook the ref's hand and joined his corner in celebrating this well-earned victory and a successful return to MMA.
"I didn't expect it to go like this," Lövstad said after the fight. "From the videos we saw that Valtonen has good wrestling. So the plan was to outpoint him standing up and be prepared to be taken down and working for a submission from my back. After the initial low kicks, he seemed hesitant to take me down, so I decided to try to take him down instead."
In regards to his good takedown game, Lövstad thanked his training oversees in camps like MFS and Team Elite, which has vastly improved his wrestling.
"I was sick when this matchup was made, so I basically had four weeks to prepare for the bout," Lövstad said. "I felt it was important to stay relaxed through the camp and not push myself too much, so I did a lot of mental preparing and self-hypnosis to stay calm, and obviously my team helped me a lot."
Lövstad also addressed UFC possibilities: "I've been hinted that once I come back and get a few victories, I'd get a shot at UFC."
With the extremely professional showing Lövstad gave Saturday, it's not hard to imagine him calmly smiling in the Octagon soon.

Bra show!
Machida har imponert meg en stund nå, og han fortsetter å imponere med en seier over Sokoudjou. Sokoudjou så ikke komfortabel ut på bakken i dete hele tatt, og Machida fullførte hele greia med en pen arm triangel.
Wanderlei Silva mot Chuck Liddel var en fantastisk kamp, og verdt å vente på. Sikker på at jeg hadde puls oppmot 250 under kampen. Desverre vant Liddel, men jeg håper og tror vi får se et par bra kamper til av Silva før han gir seg, Chuck hadde som sagt tidligere en perfekt stil til å ta Silva i min mening og det ble desverre slik. Uansett en kjempe-kamp!!!
GSP er et monster, og jeg har stor tro på at han tar Serra i re-matchen når den kommer. Fantastisk kamp av GSP hvor han nok en gang dominerer Hughes!
Bra event, og nå er det bare å glede seg til Yarennoka!! og K-1!
f**n h*****e! Chuck skulle ikke vinne.... Men Rogan og Goldberg irriterte meg med tydelig biased kommentering. De fikk det jo til å høres ut som Silva ble eid ala GSP vs Hughes. Men det var jo jevnt som f**n, trodde faktisk Wanderlei vant helt til jeg så igjennom en ekstra gang, men jeg er jo gedigen Wanderlei-nuthugger da. Wanderlei sier jo han har ca 5-7 år igjen, så han forsvinner nok ikke, håper han får Tito neste gang, og vinner og jobber seg tilbake mot toppen, og får rematch og greier. Imponerende av GSP. Machida liker jeg ikke, han banker fightere jeg liker, men man må jo bare bli imponert da. Sanches vs Palelei irriterte meg. For en grusomt kjedelig kamp, ikke verdig Maincard IMO
Og for et sykt event Yarrenoka var! PRIDE døde jaggu ikke! Det var en oppvisning for UFC, slik skal det gjøres. UFC ser ut som en amatørevent i forhold.
